Deer are a fact of life at Summit Point. I have seen a group pass in front of me as I headed down the front straight to turn 1 only to have them reemerge at turn 3.
The trick is to try and have a plan already in your head on what you are going to do if one runs in front of you.
Braking as much as you can and hitting a deer straight on will cause a lot of damage to the front of your car (and you may miss it because the Deer will probably keep moving in the same direction). Swerving to avoid one and going two wheels off will likely result in you being on your roof in the tire barrier.
I think you can deduce what option I would take.
